摘要
The high density hole doping (1.7x10(21) cm(-3)) for a wide gap (E-g=similar to 2.8 eV) p-type semiconductor was achieved on 40 nm thick Mg-doped LaCuOSe epitaxial films. These films exhibited distinct free carrier absorption, and the effective mass and momentum relaxation time were analyzed. Its small hole mobility [similar to 3.5 cm(2)/(V s)] compared to the electron mobilities of wide gap n-type semiconductors is attributed to a heavy effective mass of 1.6 +/- 0.2m(e). Regardless of the heavy hole doping, a band filling effect was not observed. These results are discussed with a rigid band model and an acceptor band model. (c) 2007 American Institute of Physics.
